Adam Levine told Billboard.com, "It was one of those songs that was definitely a risk; it's a bold statement. We've never really released a song like that. But it's exciting to do something different, do something new. I'm just happy everyone likes it."

"Adam Levine and Maroon 5 made sure that they lived up to the headliner spot at the New York State Fair grandstand," wrote The Post-Standard's Mark Bialczak. "The lights on the big screen danced as much as the fans to the steady stream of catchy songs."
